" NDIANS DANGEROUS JIMMY LEWIS HAS .448 Spokane Outfielder Heads List or Individual Averages, While Shaw and Frisk, or Vancouver, Are Close. Spokane and Vancouver loom as the Wrongest teams in the Northwestern circuit in 1914, according to the first averages of the season, which include the first nine games played. Vancou ver has a slight edge on the Indians in team batting, Dut, considering extra bases, where the Indians lead all rivals, they appear the most dangerous bat ting aggregation. Spokane's team also leads in team base stealing ana in double plays, which gives some line of reasoning why the Indians were off so well in front. Portland is down in all departments. Outfielder Jimmy Lewis, of Spokane, is the first individual batting leader of the season, with a .448 mark. Hunky Shaw and Emil Frisk, of Vancouver, also show in the .400 class.

TEAMS NEARLY IN FORM EWiNG PROFITS SECRET SAX FRANCISCO MAGNATE FACES HIGHER BASEBALL LICENSE. City Seeks to Increase Fee From 9300 to 95O00, hot Supervisors Are. Balked in Effort to View Books. SAX FRANCISCO. Cal.. April 25. (Special.) Cal Ewing. principal owner of the San Francisco Seals, has refused to show his books to 'a representative of the Board of Supervisors. William Dolge, an expert accountant, was in structed by the Supervisors several days ago to go over Ewlng's books to determine his baseball profits so the Supervisors could more intelligently arrive at a rate for the baseball license. Ewing is now paying a license of $300 a year and Supervisor Nolan has a bill to Increase this to $5000 a year. It was charged before the commis sion investigating the license matter that Ewing's profits last year were enormous and that he could afford a much higher license. Ewing protested and offered to show his books to prove baseball is not the gold mine supposed. The accountant was Informed by Ewing at first that the books would notbe shown without the proper cre dentials. Credentials were given the accountant . by the Supervisors, but Ewing then flatly refused to show the books. The latest plan is to charge a license fee equal to 3 per cent of the gross receipts, and if so, Ewing will be forced to disclose the output of his reputed gold mine. Past Seasons.. Show Later Games Often Change Conditions Feder als Put on Show That Appears as Good as Big Leagues'. NEW YORK April 25. (Special.) That feeling of novelty, and a sort of nervousness accompanying it, that al ways goes with the opening of a sea son should be about worn off by this time, and from now on the various clubs in the big league races may be expected to begin showing something like their true form. With a fe,w ex ceptions the teams have insisted on acting contrary to advance notices thus far. But, If we would steal a leal cut of the book of past seasons, it would be found that after the first dozen days things begin to right themselves to a certain degree. Who in the world thinks the Phil-. lies have any license to - beat the Giants by a ratio of 10 runs to one? Likewise where is there one so bold as to figure the Athletics 8-to-2 vic tims for Frank Chance's Yankees? Yet,1 as we know through opening-day returns, such events transpired. "They say," whoever "they say" is, that you can't "go behind the returns." But you can in baseball. A lot of things can e done in baseball that are out of place anywhere else. What if we had to accept opening-day indications at their face value and take it for granted that the Phillies are 10 times as strong as the Gionts and the Yan kees fuur times as strong as the Ath letics, where would your old pennant races be then? The Athletics, figured sure flag win ners in the American League, took the hardest beating of any team In their circuit on the getaway day. And the Giants, rated Just as much of a lead- pipe cinch in the National, took the worst beating in their circuit, rather as bad a beating as any other club. for the Cincinnati Reds, rising up on another point of "out-of-order," mauled the Cubs by another 10-to-l count. Still another big upset was seen in the initial returns, when the Cardinals beat Pittsburg by a 2-to-l score. This sort of upsetting has continued, with- brief intermissions, right on through the first 12 days of play. Not only have star ball clubs been wal loped. by weaker ones, but star pitch ers have appeared to be the easiest kind of propositions for teams they ought to be able to beat. Rube Mar Quard. on getaway day, yielded a dozen hits in six and a fraction innings. Bullet Joe Bush was knocked out of the box even quicker than the Rube, yielding five hits and a flock of bases on balls in two rounds. Larry Cheney lasted less than seven innings against the Reds, in that time giving eight bases on balls, hitting two men, making four wild pitches' and yielding four hits. Brooklyn knocked Tyler, of the Braves, out of the box in live in nings, having made 11 hits up to that time. , On the second day, George DauSs.. the star of the Detroit Tigers' staff, hied rimself to cover at the end of the seventi inning after yielding 10 hits. On the third day. the premier mound man of the Cardinals made his Initial appearance of the season, anfl he, the great Sallee, w-ia knocked out of the box In the eighth inning. Such has been the fate of star pitchers in these early days of the race. The tiny have smitten the mighty. But the turning of the way Is at hand. The Jinx of the Cleveland Naps seems set for another good year. In fact, he already has got in enough of his dirty work . to call it a season. About two weeks ago it was thought the peren nial hoodoo had completed his 1914 labors when he landed on Shortstop Chapman to-the extent of one broken leg, following his singling out of Pitch er Cy Falkenberg as a Jumper to the Federal League and the laying up of Outfielder Nemo Leibold with water on the knee. But no sooner had the sea son opened than Bill Steen was lost to the pitching staff because of a broken finger and Manager Joe Birmingham strained his side so badly that he may be out of the game for half the season at least. - With Lelivelt and Graney playing the Naps' outfield is not nearly so strong as if Birmingham and Leibold were acting' as mates to Joe Jackson. The infield Is something of a Joke, with Olson playing short Instead of Chap man. And the pitching staff is changed from one of the best in the American League to one of the. worst with Falkenberg and Steen missing. Instead of cherishing ideas about giv ing the Athletics a fight for the pen nant the Naps had better turn their thoughts toward getting in the first division again. One or two more clouts from the jinx would make the Naps tailenders, or close to it. In the opinion of Joe Tinker, Max Flack, the left fielder of the Chicago Federals, Is going to be the young sen sation of the year. Tinker describes this youth as being the image of Ty Cobb in action, am claims for the youth Just as much speed, hitting ability and fielding cleverness as Tyrus the Great. Because of Flack's ability to get around the bass, once he Is on, Tinker has made him lead-off man in the Chl feds batting order. . Charles H. Kbbets, . president of the Brooklyn Nationals, may be entirely wrong in the stand he takes on many questions, but It is an absolute cer tainty he is right in his plea for later openings of the baseball seasons. Last year there was rain enough and cold enough in the early weeks of the campaign, but this season it is even worse. The first of May probably would be about the ideal time for get away day. Fixing such a late opening would make it possible for the fans to sit in comfort - at exhibition games during the week preceding the segular show. As it is now, both fans and players risk their health in early April. All the Federal League teams have been seen In action enough now to give some sort of a line on the grade ef ball to be offered in the independent circuit this season, and it must. 'be admitted that the article Is of better quality than most followers of the game ex pected. - To all Intents and purposes of the ordinary fan, the show .presented has been about the same thus far as that generally seen in the National and American Leagues. Discipline has been preserved on the field and the style of play has seemed to be as intelligent as that of the older brothers. Of course, whether such conditions are to maintain must be left for the future to prove, and it is well Just now to reserve decision. The opening day crowds were all that could be expected, for were not all the parks packed to capacity, with big overflows on the field? Thus was the start auspicious. .Hut a baseball season is no sprint race, where the start is half the battle. They are more like long-distance grinds, and the pace must be kept up to the finish if the pro moters are to do better than break even. The Feds now have had openings In six cities, Baltimore, Pittsburg. Kan sas City, St. Louis, Chicago and In dianapolis, the last two only on Thurs day. Buffalo and Brooklyn are yet to come, both these , cities being booked for their first Federal League ball on May 11. and work on the grandstands and playing fields in these places is being rushed to get ady for the big date. It --lTl be interesting to see whether these towns, after having nearly a full month of organized base ball's pennant contests, will show as much responsiveness to the novelty of ine f eas as tne other towns did.

MACK Twirling Troops From East Will Stave Off Defeat and Uttr -Hoot, hut There's No Reason Yet to "Give Up the Ship." BY BOSCOE FAWCETT. IN the OKT. Testament tne Israelites were denounced because they mur mured. Rn rlnn't arrumble even If the two PortIand.""ball clubs are not leading their leagues. Purr. It's a long- grind off to the finish tape and the clubs now, setting the pace may be in the dump by September. So far as .the Portland Coast League champs are concerned. Spring diagnosis has carried out to the nth power. Walt McCredle has one of the grand, est machines ever gathered together in a minor league. With another vet eran . pitcher' or two, and. perhaps, a right-handed - , batting catcher, the Beavers would look the' classiest of the flock sent down the Coast League turnpike March 31.. Just at present Manager Mack is ex periencing some, trouble landing pitch ers from the majors. But, if the Beavers can drift along for another fortnight winning approximately half their games, there ought to be no reason for worry. All the other Coast clubs have strengthened a little, presaging a tighter race than ever. Yet. with that tierce batting artillery of the Beavers always In the foreground, we don't see how they are. going to stop the Mack men once, they get under steam. Walter McCredie'sald yesterday that he was hourly expecting word from the East relative to pitching reinforce ments. He freely admits that 'some of his young pitchers have performed several points below his estimate. Mac still thinks Brown will be a winner. Han son also looks promising, and. as regards Frambach, McCredie is wildly enthusiastic "A second Walter Johnson," rhapso dized the local Cnrranza. "In two months more Fred cry will surprise everybody. Although he has yet to master a slow ball, he has more natural "stuff" on the ball than any pitcher in the Pacific Coast League. "Roy Brown has been laboring under a severe handicap all Sprnlg," added Walt. "He contracted a soreness In his arm at San Francisco, and it has never left him. The opposition has not hit Brown hard, but his control has been bad. His record in the past shows him to have possessed excellent con trol. I am sure he will be a winner as Boon as his wing rounds into shape." On the eve of the current Coast League campaign we gave voice to an humble guess that Portland, Sacra mento and San Francisco would be the leading clubs . at the . halfway mark, around July 1. Nor do we now see fit to alter such prediction. San Francisco has been going over its head the first few weeks of the campaign, but the processes of gravity ought not land it below the third sta tion. Howard has a better club than most of the experts are willing to ad mit. Wolverton has sorely missed Ken worthy's extra base clouting. Still the Senators are pretty sure to be in the first division when the first mad scramble is over. Venice appears to be the chief con nundrum ' of the campaign. Most of the critics are picking the Venetians to win the pennant or at worst to finish second. - So far the Hoganites have been fulfilling all the prophecies. But take it from our. private Delphic stock, the "lfs" have Ahe floor. If ' Borton holds' to a .300 batting stride all year and if Doc White con tinues to baffle the opposing bats men, Hogan may achieve his fond hopes this Fall. . From our angle, however, his Tigers do not impress as pennan teers. His pitching staff as a unit docs not look particularly formidable, except in numbers. Nor does his infield resemb.e any rigid wall of concrete. These minor league clubs ofttimes overhaul so thoroughly during th forepart of the year as to make prog nostications appear as products of the foolish factory. The Oaks and Angels are still to be .figured. But. when the time comes to switch horses, crossing thto stream, we'll d6 so with much abandon, not to say) eclat. ' If this fuss keeps up. the Army Navy game next Fall may be played in Mexico City, in spite of announced arrangements. . Once there was a jnan who was so good, kind and unselfiBh around the house that the women all tired of him. He palled on them. And the man knew finally that he was wearisome, so he became better, kinder and even more unselfish than of yore. But it did not work. Now, this man possessed a worldly wise friend, who was a rounder. To him he told his sorrow. And the rounder spake: "Lo, thou art In error. Thou art too good. Thy remedy is to become rlot ouEly drunken and break, up the furni ture." Then the man. seeing his error, be came drunken, returned to his home, broke up his furniture violently with the dull family ax. I After that the women became at tached to him and did put a cold com press upon hisfevered brow. Upon his recovery they fed him highly and warmed his slippers by the fire, pend ing -hls"yreturn, "for," they said, "we love him, in that he is masculine." And there was great happiness In the family.

Portland Coast fans are doing a prodigal to Bill Rodgers. captain of the Beavers. And well it were. ' Two years ago, when Bill waa stumbling around on the shanks of a broken ankle, fighting grimly and gamely against great odds on a losing ball club, the bleacherites favored him with the neatest, liveliest, warmest dally grilling ever handed out to a lo cal athlete.

Bill has had a hard, tough row of It since coming to Portland, but that virtue sometimes brings its Just re ward is proved once again.

SEATTLE'S SLUMP AWFUL XORTHWESTEIIX LEAGUE'S SUR PRISE SPUUXCS BV GIANTS. Xot Only Characterized aa Blowup, but Also as Blowout. Ia Dugdale'a Boya Terrible Week. SEATTLE, April 23. (Special.) The breakdown of the Seattle club- in the early part of the past week against Vancouver has been the big surprise of the first parf of the Northwestern League season. The class of ball they played against the Colored Giants, all other teams in preliminary contests, and Portland In - the opening series warranted the belief that they would make a good showing against Van couver, who got no better than an even break with the Tacoma Tigers in the initial series of the season. It was not only a blowup, but it was a blowout. Individually or collectively, the team could not do anything. Team work was reduced to almost zero. So far as attack went. It was the worst ever. It is true that the outfield has been unsettled, owing to the poor showing of Martini and subsequent experiment to fill his place, but the field, one figured as steady, fell down. too. In the first three games, all of which were won by Vancouver, the Seattle pitchers were hit hard, which, mixed with bad fielding, made a bad mess. If Swain had been hitting at his usual pace It would have made a great dif ference. In the first series he batted only .190. and up to Thursday of the past week had fallen far below those figures. Commencing with last Sunday he went four games without a hit. The Vancouver club has not suffered to any appreciable extent through the loss of Pirst Baseman Walsh. Out fielder Kippert. Pitchers Ingersoll and Schmuts and Catcher Konnlck. McCari is a faster man at first than Walsh, and if he keeps up his hitting all wrH be well with the champs at the initial corner. Bennett seems to be about the same as ever, and no fault can be found with Helster's work at third. Puns Attend at Spokane. SPOKANE. Wash.. April 25 (Spe cial.)
